If only soldiers had the staying power of Emus...The Australians also didn't try to talk to the emus, if I remember correctly.
That was going so well until the bit about moral compasses.No we are not the baddies. Admittedly I'm a cannibal slaver pirate murderer who would swap the salt for sugar, but trust my moral compass
If killing humans is the yardstick then we are the baddies because we have been doing that for millennia.
Yeah & if the vast majority of players had been defending the Thargs...you would be on the opposite side ie. you are just looking for players to shoot - expediency at its finest; don't try to dress it up as a moral stand against colonialism.
I think virtually everyone who has viewed this thread expected that YT clip in your OP!!Someone got the reference
...so yes, someone got the reference!
So I am not even allowed to choose my own side now? Just because the majority does something I have to do it too? What a pathetic argument. I didn't shoot any transport ship or rescue ships without guardian/AX weaponary and only targeted those attacking thargoids. But for you, I make an exception.
By the way, AX vessels are generally as resilient as PvP vessels, so it's not shooting up AX vessels is "ganking".
They may not be able to offer much resistance, but they should be difficult to kill.
Another case of "I don't like your roleplay reasons for shooting me up, please find one convenient for me"
I would point out that ths Thargoids have never bothered trying to communicate with anyone. They didn't with the Guardians, they didn't the first time they went after us in one of the original games (apparently), and they haven't now, either.
It is kind of difficult to reach a diplomatic solution when the other side will not talk, period.

One, don't play the indignant wronged innocent card...I've seen enough of your posts to understand your motivations in Elite.
Two, I am a noob & of Jewish heritage with Polish ancestry so yes, I can see why I'm now on your KoS list.
Three, let's also gloss over the fact that you are set up for PvP whereas the players engaged in this narrative are set up for anti-Xeno.
& lastly - just to be clear - what you took from my quoted post is that I think you should join in with the others because everyone is doing it?! Hmmm!
Well then, let's leave it there on the grounds of one particular famous Mark Twain quotation, methinks.
I look forward to our next forum interaction...or "mauling"... just as this one turned out!
It's very much a case of the Thargoids being a bit more like the British in the 18th and 19th centuries.
They gallivant around the galaxy plonking down flags on all the planets they "discover", then bug ger off back to focus on their home systems and colonies.
Then get all pis sy when someone comes along a few thousand years later, and likewise "discovers" those planets, only this time actually settles down on them.
And then they show up with guns, to kick those funny looking people who speak another language off those planets.

That's funny - substitute "Thargoids" for "Humans" and it works just the same.
W#F man? Where did that come from?
I was too afraid to ask or quote…
The way I see it, we were supposed to get a mixed bag : Jameson himself was tricked into kicking the bugs in the n***** , it was supposed to be complex and deep with moral choices ... Gray area everywhere ...
Then FD wrote a nonsensical storyline in which Palin gets kidnapped twice a week ... (seriously, am I the only one finding that hilarious ??)
Meanwhile, the devs never managed to produce any non-pewpew-yet- engaging-gameplay around the Thargoids and the Guardians and in the same time ACED the Thargoids combat content, making them challenging and involving ...
Too bad any story depth went through the airlock in the process. I guess the community has a part of responsibility in this too ...

To do list:
1. Team up, annihilate the Thargoids.
2. Team up annihilate the Guardians.
3. Team up, annihilate Colonia.
4. Annihilate team mates.

See, that's the thing, Thargoids don't have flags so they can't claim ownership!
We humans on the other hand do have flags.
Just jump around the galaxy and stick a flag in. "I claim the Witchhead nebula for Humanity!" They're going "You can't claim us, we live here! For five hundred million years!" "Do you have a flag …? "What? We don't need a bloody flag, this is our sector, you bast ards!" "No flag, no nebula, you can't have one! Those are the rules... that I just made up!...and I'm backing it up with this gun, that was lent from the Aegis research division."
